Toyota may have to recall Tundra because of camshaft failures

I dunno man, I know people rank on American cars for recalling, but at least American cars aren't for something critical to the cars general movement, like a friggin' camshaft!

Toyota's latest quality issues could lead to a recall of the brand-new Tundra pickup.
Some owners of V-8 Tundras have reported camshaft failures in their trucks. Toyota told the Detroit News that it had logged 20 such complaints. The problem could affect as many as 30,000 Tundras built at assembly plants in Indiana and Texas.
Toyota had planned to sell 200,000 Tundras in the truck's first year as a part of an aggressive expansion plan in the United States . The company has opened a new San Antonio plant to assemble the truck; has expanded an Alabama engine plant to supply to factory; and has also started construction on plants in Ontario and Mississippi as it tries to match demand for its vehicles.
The Texas plant had suffered cost overruns before it opened late last year. The News also reports the Tundra had failed to match Ford's F-150 and Dodge's Ram in frontal crash test scores.

So more evidence that Toyota isn't perfect and invincible.

The price for a too rapid expansion is exactly these sort of things.
